Flyers could meet Penguins at Penn State

The Philadelphia Flyers have confirmed to multiple sources their interest in playing the Pittsburgh Penguins at Penn State's Beaver Stadium this coming season or next.

The biggest hurdles, according to a report from CSN.com, are logistics involving timing and the NHL's commitment to the annual Winter Classic as its top showcase to launch a series of five other outdoor games that have already been planned for January.

This coming season's Winter Classic features Detroit hosting Toronto at Michigan Stadium on New Year's day.

Penn State traditionally closes its stadium in January for winterization.

Beaver Stadium's capacity is more than 106,00, however, and a Pens-Flyers matchup there could generate enormous revenue for the University, which has been hit hard financially by sanctions in the wake of the Sandusky scandal.
